Sanchez chip sets up Gunners’ romp
ARSENAL 6 LUDOGORETS 0
Alexis Sanchez’s sublime lob and Mesut Ozil’s hattrick spearheaded Arsenal’s Champions League thrashing of Ludogorets at the Emirates Stadium last night.
Sanchez’s first goal in four games sparked Arsenal’s second win in three European games, stretching the Gunners’ unbeaten run to 11 matches in all competitions.
Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also hit the net, with Ozil’s secondhalf hat-trick helping Arsenal retain top spot in Group A.
The Gunners remained above Paris St-Germain on goal difference, after the French side beat Basle 3-0.
Arsenal’s victory moved them one step closer to a potential group decider when PSG head to the Emirates Stadium on November 26.
Sanchez offered the game’s outstanding moment just 12 minutes in, his sumptuous chip kickstarting Arsenal’s routine triumph.
The Chile forward left Cosmin Moti and Ludogorets captain Svetoslav Dyakov trailing in his wake as he checked his run before delivering the delicious finish.
